Chrome Links on Google Homepages, With an Error in Germany

Google is promoting their new browser Chrome on quite a lot of national homepages, from China to France to the US. In Germany, they temporarily advertised Chrome in the wrong place. Instead of a link below the search box mentioning the new browser, the red “New!” message was placed in the footer, the link text which led to Chrome reading “Advertising with Google”. I bet this made quite a few Germans scratch their head earlier today... (by now, it’s fixed).[Hat tip to Yinxue!]
